Peter, What I think Rick is suggesting by the way he is doing the Plaza distribution is this:
You Las Vegas Strikers get your butt in here between Saturday and Wednesday and get your fill of these CC>CC tokens and then stay away during the course of the convention to give the out of town people a chance to get some too.

In an ideal world that is a great plan! The problem you are suggesting is that some of the Las Vegas Strikers are capable of setting up teams to go in and drain the machines 24 hours per day until Wednesday and try to corner the market on the strike.

Is this not what you are afraid of? Is the casino in question by the way they are doing things or is the problem with peoples' ethics and greed? Whether you are a Striker or a Chipper, if you live in Las Vegas, you have the advantage; the hobbies question for you is "What will you do with that advantage?".
